Question

Jo is a diabetic who uses three doses of insulin each day. Each dose is 0.06 ml. A bottle contains 1 cl of insulin. How many complete days will a bottle last her?

Answer 1

55 complete days

Explanation:

It is given that Jo is diabetic and she uses three doses of insulin in one day. One dose of insulin is 0.06 ml and one bottle has 1 cl of insulin.

We know, 1 cl = 10 ml

So the insulin bottle contains 10 ml of insulin.

1 dose = 0.06 ml

3 doses = 0.06 x 3

= 0.18 ml

So Jo takes 0.18 ml of insulin in one day.

Dividing 10 ml by 0.18 ml, we get

`$=(10)/(0.18)$`

`$=(1000)/(18)$`

= 55.55

So, the bottle will last for 55 complete days.
